PUBLICATION SCHEME

This Publication Scheme is prepared in accordance with the Information Commissioner's approved Model Publication Scheme.

Our Publication Scheme outlines the type of information we routinely publish, where you can find it, any associated charges and provides greater accessibility to the Council's services and functions.

Where it is impracticable to make information available on a website or when an individual does not wish to access the information by the website, they should ask the Council to provide them with a copy under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
